A total of 52 children in New York City have been diagnosed with an inflammatory syndrome possibly linked to Covid-19 and another 10 cases are pending, Mayor Bill de Blasio said, according to AFP.
"Of those 62 confirmed or possible cases, 25 have tested positive for the coronavirus and another 22 had antibodies for the virus," de Blasio said. One child has died.
De Blasio urged parents to call their pediatricians if their children exhibit symptoms including persistent fever, rash, abdominal pain and vomiting.
